Bus driver fined over death - BC News - Castanet.net
Bus driver fined over death - BC News - Castanet.net
A tour bus driver convicted of hitting and killing a pedestrian in
Victoria has been handed an eight month driving prohibition and fined
$1,500.
Stephen Finnerty was driving for Horizon Tours in August 2012 when
27-year-old Yuka Imaizumi was run down in a crosswalk at a major
intersection in downtown Victoria.
Earlier this month, a provincial court judge in Victoria convicted
Finnerty, now 45-years-old, of driving without due care and attention.
During sentencing, the judge acknowledged Finnerty lost his own
father in a traffic accident, has expressed remorse, is receiving
counselling, has quit professional driving and has relocated his family
after receiving threatening email messages and phone calls.
In a victim impact statement sent from Japan, Imaizumi's parents said
they had hoped their daughter would represent the fourth generation to
inherit their family restaurant and they remain devastated by her death.
After sentencing, Finnerty criticized the City of Victoria, accusing
it of ignoring pleas for safety changes at the busy five-way
intersection at Humboldt and Douglas where Imaizumi died.

16 killed in bus accident in Pakistan | Business Standard
At least 16 people, including 15 from the same family, were killed and
over 20 injured when an overloaded bus plunged into a ravine in Pakistan's central province of Punjab.
The accident occurred last evening in Martankhurd village of Kallar Kahar tehsil.
The bus was reportedly carrying 45 passengers when it went off the road and fell into a 50-foot deep ravine, police said.
Among the dead, 15 people including three children and four women were of the same family, Geo TV reported.
The injured were shifted to three different medical facilities,
including Lillah Hospital, Fauji Foundation Hospital in Kallar Kahar
and to a basic health unit in Buchal Kallan, a town near the accident
site.
"We suspect it was a case of brake failure but we are waiting
to hear back from our superior officers who have not returned yet from
the accident site," said a local police officer.
Kallar Kahar's salt range on the Lahore-Islamabad stretch has been the site of several fatal accidents in the past due to the hilly terrain and sharp bends on the road.
